Impaired age-associated mitochondrial translation is mitigated by exercise and PGC-1alpha

ABSTRACT: Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, can dramatically impinge on quality of life and mortality. While mitochondrial dysfunction and imbalanced proteostasis are recognized as hallmarks of sarcopenia, the regulatory and functional link between these processes is underappreciated and unresolved. We therefore investigated how mitochondrial proteostasis, a crucial process that coordinates the expression of nuclear- and mitochondrial-encoded mitochondrial proteins with supercomplex formation and respiratory activity, is affected in skeletal muscle aging. Intriguingly, a robust mitochondrial translation impairment was observed in sarcopenic muscle, which is regulated by the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1alpha) with the estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRalpha). Exercise, a potent inducer of PGC-1alpha activity, rectifies age-related reduction in mitochondrial translation, in conjunction with quality control pathways. These results highlight the importance of mitochondrial proteostasis in muscle aging, and elucidate regulatory interactions that underlie the powerful benefits of physical activity in this context.

Project description:The transcriptional coactivator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1Î±) is a chief activator of the mitochondrial and metatolic program in skeletal muscle (skm) and prevents atrophy. Here we tested whether PGC-1Î± overexpression could restructure the transcriptome and metabolism of cultured human skeletal myotubes, which display an athropic phenotype. An oligonucleotide microarray analysis was used to reveal PGC-1Î± effects on the whole transcriptome, and the possible impact on fuel metabolism reprogramming was examined. Fifty-three different genes displayed changed expression levels in response to PGC-1Î±: 42 upregulated and 11 downregulated. Main associations of gene ontologies (GO) for the upregulated genes were mitochondrial components and processes and this correlated with an increase in COX activity, an indicator of mitochondrial content. Palmitate and lactate oxidation to CO2 was enhanced, but not glucose oxidation. The other most significant GO associations of upregulated genes were chemotaxis and cytokine activity, and accordingly, several cytokines, including IL8, CXCL6, CCL5 and CCL8, were within top induced genes. Among the most regulated genes were also potential metabolic regulators of fatty acid and glucose storage. FITM1/FIT1 induction was associated with an increased number of lipid droplets with smaller area, while triglyceride levels were modestly increased in oleate-incubated cells. Downregulation of CALM1, the calcium-modulated Î´ subunit of phosphorylase kinase, was linked to inactivation of glycogen phosphorylase and greater accumulation of glycogen. The most upregulated gene was PVALB, which is also related to calcium signaling. In conclusion, only the deficient mitochondrial transcriptional program of cultured myotubes is rescued by PGC-1Î±. New PGC-1Î± gene targets and pathways arise, some of which may mediate its activating effects in processes such as lipid and carbohydrate storage and angiogenesis. 6 samples from 3 different skeletal muscle cell cultures were used: 3 were transfected with adenovirus containing PGC-1aplha and 3 with adenovirus containing GFP (control). The 3 PGC-1alpha samples were compared against the control samples.
